“Kimchi Cracklings! Yes, please. Everything was outstanding.“

“Amazing restaurant! Loved the atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was great. Can’t recommend more“

“I was here 4/6 for the first time. I came here because I saw that people commented that they had gluten-free baked goods, and I am an instant fan. The good or bad thing for me is that I live over 100 miles from here...so, I will have more reasons to vist family in Santa Maria just to make a stop here. So, what I got was the peanut butter cookie (best I've ever had with or w/o wheat). I also the super food latte w/beet root and raw cocoa...yum❣ Next time I'm adding and espresso shot to it. Ibrought home two different slices of their bread too... that I shouldn't have but tried anyway... rye w/walnuts and hard sourdough. Both tasty good. 🤩🤗🥖☕🍪“

“We have a good experience with our young & Sharp bar tender, the German-American Lamar, he was so very attentive. The wine testing pretty good, tasted the industrial wine flight, We bought the bottle of Five Hearts.“

“Amazing Solvang experience. Savannah took amazing care of us. Jason and Melissa were very experienced with wine and gave us great education and history of wines. The food was amazing. We had a shrimp dip and a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. Small family owned business that’s super friendly and amazing.
10/10 would come back!“

“Leonardo's never disapoints. The food is fantastic and the staff is great.“

“Excellent and friendly service. Delicious brunch too“

“Great experience in the Spice Merchant today. So happy they do mail order!“

“good service the cheese and flight worked out“

“Wine was surprising(in a great way). Challenging if you want it to be but so accessible at the same time. Very true to the grapes, pinots were smoky not ripe but keep the garnet fruit in play, sparkling was crisp with small bubbles and great finish without being simple, rosés were dry and decent minerality while still preserving the fruit and mouthfeel.

All around great experience. Crystal was helpful and knowledgeable having grown up in the industry with her father. She knows the region so well.

They have something for everyone. Brut rose, grenache rose, north slope pinot 2020 barrel select pinot, and radian pinot were the standouts.

Also they have snacks and theres a cheese shop next door that you can grab pairing from and they will even help you pair them if you ask reslly nicely ;).

Best way to try it all is to do one of each tasting.

For a valley already steeped in pinot exellence alma rose is a standout with the convenience of a property and a downtown tasting room that hasnt quite figured out that it could be charging way more so get in there now!“

“Everything was great. We had the short rib, watermelon salad, green olives, and the soup of the day, which turned out to be cheeseburger soup. Surprisingly, it was really good. It even came with its own potato chips on top, which made it even more fun.

The food was fresh and well-balanced, and the service matched the quality. Nothing felt overdone or fussy, just solid flavors in a nice setting.

If you’re in Solvang and want a reliable, well-executed meal, Mad & Vin is a great choice. Also, get the soup if it’s cheeseburger day. Seriously!“

“This place has a great varieties of wines and has a warm welcoming atmosphere!“

“the ladies are so friendly, and all pastries and baked goods are really yummy you can tell they put love in it!“

“During a June visit to Solvang, many of the restaurants were closed early. So we were happy to find this place open later and a little less expensive than other restaurants in Solvang. It was also very busy.

We tried the Sausage Sampler which showcases different sausages from around the world. We chose these 3 sausages: Rod Polse, Bratwurst, & Kielbasa. We also tried the Apple & Arugula Salad and All American Burger. We enjoyed our food and the atmosphere of just being in Solvang. Seating here is all outdoors, so bring a jacket. It was chilly the night we came.“

“One of the best wineries in Solvang. Quaint and modern, bar seating and indoor lounge vibe with outside fire pit tables. Always delicious. If you are looking to join a wine club the Consilience is our pick. Always reliable and very yummy. Like most of Solvang they are dog friendly.“

“We came into their tasting room a few months ago but never had the chance to write a review. There were several tasting rooms in Solvang, but we opted for this one as it was close to where we were staying. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were greeted by two good-looking gentlemen, and one guided us to our seats. We did the wine tasting as well as the balsamic vinegar and the olive oils. The wines were great, but the star of the show, to us anyway, was the vinegar and the olive oils. We walked out with several bottles. We would love to go back and get some more!“

“Best coffee in Solvang! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“We stopped here after going to Solvang Brewery because we wanted to bar hop but no are specifically trying other beers in the area. We were surprised to walk into a beer shop with a nice gentleman who could tell we looked lost but when I asked about the bar the said it was a membership bar but since it was our first time he let us in as visitors with a pass to what I now know is a speakeasy. Super cool entrance which explains unassuming the beer shop. We were welcomed and impressed by the beer selection on tap. The server was very knowledgeable and the patrons were all extremely friendly and welcoming. We struck up a few conversations about beer, about the locals and just general chit chat with good beer and good people. They also sell snacks and there's an outdoor patio and games to play, things to read, and just a very cool atmosphere overall. Nothing snooty or pretentious about this place. It's great to be in a comfortable setting with mature adults who just love beer! Highly recommend place to chill and slavtually conversate with fellow beer admirerers. We would definitely go back and if you're local a membership is worth it.“

“We bought a vegetarian sandwich and a black forest ham and cheese. These are very good sandwiches but we didn't think they rated more than 4 stars. We ordered two salads and both came with a balsamic dressing that we thought had a harsh taste, perhaps because the ratio of vinegar to oil was too much or the balsamic vinegar was not very smooth. A decent, but not exciting choice.“

“Natalie was a great host and the wine was delicious. We left with a bottle. 😊 🍷“

“Such a great spot for food and drinks. This place is family friendly and has AMAZING food plus great spirits. Don't miss the fried pickles and brisket! We ordered the ribeye which is hand carved and it was crazy good. All the apps are worth ordering, you could make a meal out of just the great appetizer selection. Make a reservation, you won't regret it!“

“We were recommended Paula's as a fan favorite for breakfast in downtown Solvang, so naturally we had to try it out. Clearly you could tell it was the spot to be because by the time we left, all indoor and patio seats on a chilly day were filled. They're known for their pancakes (obviously) - short stack were as expected (light, fluffy) and the Dutch thin pancakes were thin, but even bigger than the stack (so don't worry, you will have plenty of food). The half portion of bacon was two pieces that were good, but thinner than expected. Only recommendation - do not get a muffin (could be my mistake for even ordering that). It tasted odd/off - almost soapy or just fake banana flavor in the banana nut muffin. Hard to describe, but yeah, do not recommend. Otherwise, fast diner-style service. They work hard to get you fed and out the door.“

“Had a great time all employees were awesome“

“Just a great vide Friendly Very good wines Not a wine drinker but the red was excellent“

“Lucas & Lewellen offers four different wine tasting options, and—because they’re merciful—you can even mix and match. The wines are decent, with Costa del Sol standing out enough that we actually bought a couple bottles, which is the wine-tasting equivalent of true love.

The vibe is family-friendly, pet-friendly, basically everyone-friendly… except maybe the staff. They weren’t exactly rude, but let’s just say “warmth” wasn’t really on the tasting menu.

Still, good wine in Solvang plus a place where your kids and your dog can both tag along? Hard to complain—though, to be clear, I still will.“

“We celebrated my moms 70th birthday at the River Grill. We had a beautiful sunset view of the course and valley mountains. The service was great and they were very welcoming to our family! They truly made my mom feel like the birthday queen.

The food was also delicious fresh off the grill. Thank you to the great staff at the River grill!“

“The absolute best!“

“My wife and I love Ramen Kotori, and make the trip to Solvange just to eat there. The fresh food is amazing, and always so tasty.“

“Best fudge in the west!!! delicious 😋“

“Amazing wine, amazing view, amazing service!!!“

“We visited Lincourt without a reservation hoping we might be able to get a spot and were welcomed so warmly. Julian served us and had such deep knowledge of the wine and history of the winery. We had a bottle of the Courtney chardonnay and it was bright and crisp, perfect for a hot afternoon. Julian was so kind and helpful and we enjoyed the comfortable seating, great and quick service, and calm atmosphere. This place is a perfect place to visit, a bit off the beaten path for SB wineries and a smaller and more intimate experience, which is exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend.“

“Yummy Danish at this Danish Bakery !“

“The Roast Pork wad good it was well seasoned“

“Craft House at Corque has become a go-to spot for casual yet quality date night dinners. We’ve enjoyed sitting at the bar or in the dining area to explore much of their menu—it’s definitely not a “one-and-done” type of place. Whether it’s a full meal or just stopping in for beignets and a cocktail or beer, the experience consistently delivers. By the way, beignets every time. Don’t cheat yourself by not getting them, it would be a travesty.

The only hiccup I’ve had was a DoorDash order where a protein was missing, but the restaurant quickly resolved the issue, which I appreciated.

Highly recommend Craft House for anyone looking for reliable food, drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere.“

“My boyfriend and I made one of our first great memories here. We always have a wonderful time.The Owner and Staff always take great care of us and will definitely keep us coming back. Thank you High Roller Tiki Lounge! See you soon.“

“Cafe Dolce is a wonderful place to enjoy. The owner Sammy is my favorite. His Cafe offers an amazing variety of fresh Baklava. The juice bar and protein shakes are over the top! If you want a real treat try the Mediterranean Panini. Everything here tastes crisp, clean, and fresh! You will love it!“

“Great friendly staff. Food was good.“

“I've grown up loving Tower Pizza and now my son is too! so many Friday nite after football dinners with the team to watch Friday Football Focus. Pizza lunch specials in grade school. and now doing their creative part during this trying time of take out specials. My kiddo loved making their take and bake special! Was delicious and fun and great childhood comfort food!“

“The food and service was good. Had the lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs. They were both really good the portions were good and enjoyed the ambiance. Not so much of an Italian feel inside more of a fancy feel inside. But everything was all really good.“

“Everything is wonderful here.. The owner of The Belgian Cafe is also the owner of Paula's Pancake House.. the difference is Paula's Pancake House served Danish pancakes and The Belgian Cafe served Belgian waffles.. Aside from this m the menus are identical.. I ordered the Danish omelette.. and ordered a side of tasted David rye bread.. DELICIOUS... paired the eye bread with blackberry marmalade.. plenty of indoor and outside seating.. I choose to dine outside and enjoy the fresh sea breeze“

“The food was awesome! Sandwiches were big!!“

“Chef David Cecchini truly outdid himself with the recent Cecco Supper Club event. From start to finish, this dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the perfectly paired wines by Amber Rose Wines, reflected an incredible level of thought and skill. The evening began with a canapé reception and a crisp, elegant Rosé, setting the tone for the culinary journey ahead. The first course, Coquilles Saint Jacques, was an absolute delight—baked scallops in a creamy white wine sauce, beautifully gratinéed and paired perfectly with a bright Sauvignon Blanc. The flavors were rich, yet balanced, showcasing the chef’s expertise in French cuisine. The Warm Salad Niçoise that followed was a masterpiece. The seared tuna was cooked to perfection, complementing the tender fingerling potatoes, crisp haricots verts, and briny olives. It was a symphony of textures and flavors, enhanced by the accompanying Pinot Noir. The main course, Beef Bourguignon, featured tender short ribs in a deeply flavorful red wine reduction. Paired with a Grenache/Syrah blend, it was hearty, comforting, and elevated—a true celebration of rustic French cooking. To close the evening, the Cherry Clafoutis was pure perfection. The balance of tart Amarena cherries and the delicate custard-like cake was divine, especially when paired with Spanish coffee. It was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Chef Cecchini’s attention to detail and passion for his craft were evident in every dish. This was not just a meal; it was a culinary experience that transported us to the heart of Provence. Highly recommend attending one of these events—you won’t regret it!“
